New York Mets

The 2nd Circuit on Tuesday delivered disappointing news to a kosher hot dog maker, finding that its agreement with the company that runs Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, did not give it the right to sell kosher products at the field on the Jewish Sabbath.

The New York Mets can stop worrying about legal problems and focus on getting back to a .500 season after team owners reached a $162 million settlement in a suit brought by a trustee for Bernie Madoff’s fraud victims.

Tuesday’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff tossed out nine of the 11 claims of a lawsuit filed by Bernard Madoff trustee Irving Picard against the owners of the New York Mets baseball team, Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz.
